FRONTENAC, Mo. (AP) A St. Louis councilman s car was fired upon in what police are describing as a possible case of road rage.
Ernie Trakas, a Republican, said in a tweet that he wasn’t hurt in the Friday afternoon shooting on Interstate 64 in Frontenac.
But police said the rear hatch of his vehicle was hit at least once when the driver of a small, dark gray SUV opened fire. No one else was in the vehicle with Trakas at the time, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
“Today reminded me that violence impacts everyone in our region,” said Trakas, a 70-year-old Oakville attorney who was reelected in November to a second four-year term representing a broad swath of unincorporated south county.

ST. LOUIS Outgoing St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson, the first woman to serve in the role, in an interview Thursday touted her calm leadership through many crises, including the pandemic, plus big investments in the city, while also addressing closely watched relationships with other regional leaders.
